We have the invalid bit to indicate that a file isn't good. That's enough for remote devices. For ourselves, it would be good to know sometimes why the file isn't good - because it's an unsupported type, because it matches an ignore pattern, or because we detected the data is bad and we need to rescan it.
Or, and this is the main future reason for the PR, because it's a change detected on a receive only device. We will want something like the invalid flag for those changes, but marking them as invalid today means the scanner will rehash them. Hence something more fine grained is required.
This introduces a LocalFlags fields to the FileInfo where we can stash things that we care about locally. For example,
FlagLocalUnsupported = 1 << 0 // The kind is unsupported, e.g. symlinks on Windows
FlagLocalIgnored = 1 << 1 // Matches local ignore patterns
FlagLocalMustRescan = 1 << 2 // Doesn't match content on disk, must be rechecked fully
The LocalFlags fields isn't sent over the wire; instead the Invalid attribute is calculated based on the flags at index sending time. It's on the FileInfo anyway because that's what we serialize to database etc.
The actual Invalid flag should after this just be considered when building the global state and figuring out availability for remote devices. It is not used for local file index entries.
To optimize WithNeed, which is called for the local device whenever an index
update is received. No tracking for remote devices to conserve db space, as
WithNeed is only queried for completion.
Instead of walking and unmarshalling the entire db and sorting the resulting
file infos by sequence, add store device keys by sequence number in the
database. Thus only the required file infos need be unmarshalled and are already
sorted by index.
When dropping delta index IDs due to upgrade, only drop our local one.
Previously, when dropping all of them, we would trigger a full send in
both directions on first connect after upgrade. Then the other side
would upgrade, doing the same thing. Net effect is full index data gets
sent twice in both directions.
With this change we just drop our local ID, meaning we will send our
full index on first connect after upgrade. When the other side upgrades,
they will do the same. This is a bit less cruel.
Unignored files are marked as conflicting while scanning, which is then resolved
in the subsequent pull. Automatically reconciles needed items on send-only
folders, if they do not actually differ except for internal metadata.
This keeps the data we need about sequence numbers and object counts
persistently in the database. The sizeTracker is expanded into a
metadataTracker than handled multiple folders, and the Counts struct is
made protobuf serializable. It gains a Sequence field to assist in
tracking that as well, and a collection of Counts become a CountsSet
(for serialization purposes).
The initial database scan is also a consistency check of the global
entries. This shouldn't strictly be necessary. Nonetheless I added a
created timestamp to the metadata and set a variable to compare against
that. When the time since the metadata creation is old enough, we drop
the metadata and rebuild from scratch like we used to, while also
consistency checking.
A new environment variable STCHECKDBEVERY can override this interval,
and for example be set to zero to force the check immediately.

This removes a significant, complex chunk of database code. The
"replace" operation walked both the old and new in lockstep and made the
relevant changes to make the new situation correct. But since delta
indexes we pretty much never need this - we just used replace to drop
the existing data and start over.
This makes that explicit and removes the complexity.
(This is one of those things that would be annoying to make case
insensitive, while the actual "drop and then insert" that we do is
easier.)
This is fairly well unit tested...
The one change to the tests is to cover the fact that previously replace
with something identical didn't bump the sequence number, while
obviously removing everything and re-inserting does. This is not
behavior we depend on anywhere.

So, when first implementing the database layer I added panics on every
unexpected error condition mostly to be sure to flush out bugs and
inconsistencies. Then it became sort of standard, and we don't seem to
have many bugs here any more so the panics are usually caused by things
like checksum errors on read. But it's not an optimal user experience to
crash all the time.
Here I've weeded out most of the panics, while retaining a few "can't
happen" ones like errors on marshalling and write that we really can't
recover from.
For the rest, I'm mostly treating any read error as "entry didn't
exist". This should mean we'll rescan the file and correct the info (if
scanning) or treat it as a new file and do conflict handling (when
pulling). In some cases things like our global stats may be slightly
incorrect until a restart, if a database entry goes suddenly missing
during runtime.
All in all, I think this makes us a bit more robust and friendly without
introducing too many risks for the user. If the database is truly toast,
probably many other things on the system will be toast as well...

After this change,
- Symlinks on Windows are always unsupported. Sorry.
- Symlinks are always enabled on other platforms. They are just a small
file like anything else. There is no need to special case them. If you
don't want to sync some symlinks, ignore them.
- The protocol doesn't differentiate between different "types" of
symlinks. If that distinction ever does become relevant the individual
devices can figure it out by looking at the destination when they
create the link.
It's backwards compatible in that all the old symlink types are still
understood to be symlinks, and the new SYMLINK type is equivalent to the
old SYMLINK_UNKNOWN which was always a valid way to do it.

This changes the BEP protocol to use protocol buffer serialization
instead of XDR, and therefore also the database format. The local
discovery protocol is also updated to be protocol buffer format.

This adds a metric for "committed items" to the database instance that I
use in the test code, and a couple of tests that ensure that scans that
don't change anything also don't commit anything.
There was a case in the scanner where we set the invalid bit on files
that are ignored, even though they were already ignored and had the
invalid bit set. I had assumed this would result in an extra database
commit, but it was in fact filtered out by the Set... Anyway, I think we
can save some work on not pushing that change to the Set at all.

When doing prefix scans in the database, "foo" should not be considered
a prefix of "foo2". Instead, it should match "foo" exactly and also
strings with the prefix "foo/". This is more restrictive than what the
standard leveldb prefix scan does so we add some code to enforce it.
Also exposes the initialScanCompleted on the rwfolder for testing, and
change it to be a channel (so we can wait for it from another
goroutine). Otherwise we can't be sure when the initial scan has
completed, and we need to wait for that or it might pick up changes
we're doing at an unexpected time.

This happens automatically in the background anyway, and it can take a
long time on low powered devices at an inconvenient time. We just want
to get up and running as quickly as possible.

We're going to need the db.Instance to keep some state, and for that to
work we need the same one passed around everywhere. Hence this moves the
leveldb-specific file opening stuff into the db package and exports the
dbInstance type.
